ST Cooking Poll -- Thawing a frozen piece of chicken overnight, do you thaw it in the marinade, or add the marinade only after it is thawed? -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 29, 11:10 7
- goddamnit. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 29, 11:22 1
  - I don't think there's any problem with thawing in the marinade - it's just that the marinade won't start working until the meat has thawed. -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 11:25
- Thaw first, then marinate. -- nm - Mr. Havens Jul 29, 11:16
- I marinate after. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:14
- after. Putting frozen chicken in the marinade won't do anything as the marinade won't be able to penetrate the meat - decline Jul 29, 11:13
- at least partially thaw first, so that a water barrier doesn't occur. - Beryllium Jul 29, 11:12
- I don't know if this is the right answer, but I thaw first then marinate. -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 11:11
More Marlins players have tested positive for Coronavirus than the average home game attendance for the Marlins season. -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 11:05 2

    - And make Atlantis pay for it. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 11:08
- Man, that band really has it in for its fans don’t they? -- nm* - Qale Jul 29, 11:06 1
  - Only its New England fans. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:09
- We're gonna need a bigger board. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 11:05
And I see Trump is angling for the racist suburban housewife vote on Twitter again today. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 29, 10:56 10
- Doesn’t he already have The Karens’ vote? -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 11:07 7
  - Karens are definitely college educated, a demo that is in the process of rejecting Trump last I checked -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 11:09 6
    - One thing I have noticed, each side thinks women on the OTHER side are the Karens. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:12 5
      - There are a lot of people who use the meme incorrectly. I can’t tell if they’re doing it on purpose, or they just don’t get it. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 11:14 1
        
        I think the latter. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:15
      - And men on each side think men on the OTHER side are idiots. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:13 2
        
        I’m partial to “Those neck beard Cletus’es... Cleti.” -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 11:27
        
        one side is clearly more likely to believe 2+2=5 , if told it's the answer. -- nm - mud Jul 29, 11:22

Good morning, campers. Today is the first anniversary of my test podcast episode! - Mr. Havens Jul 29, 10:49 3
- Imma let you finish, but KIDSFundcast was the greatest podcast of all time! -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 11:11 2
  - Oh Qale, you do make speeches. -- nm - Mr. Havens Jul 29, 11:15
  - He said "test", not "best"! -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:12

  - IN: 65,258 cases. 2,924 deaths. (TOTALS) -- nm* - Spawn Jul 29, 10:52 19
    - ! -- nm - mud Jul 29, 10:52 18
      - I am kinda shocked by that TN deaths number. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 10:53 17
        
        1000 seems artificially low -- nm - rollo Jul 29, 10:56 10
        
        yeah I wonder about flu and pneumonia deaths... -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 11:02 5
        
        Flu should be nonexistent at this time of year. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:04 4
        
        right, but they might be claiming deaths are due to that rather than COVID to keep the numbers down -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 11:06 2
        
        It would be kinda obvious. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:11 1
        
        It especially is when you compare it to other states. - Spawn Jul 29, 11:14
        
        Wait for it... -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:05
        
        Oh, I'm sure it is. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 29, 11:00 1
        
        (Our county had a 477% increase in July over all previous months combined.) -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 29, 11:01
        
        Yesterday it was 96,673 and 988. Yeah, seems fishy. Good on them if true, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 10:59 1
        
        OH: 86,497 and 3,382. IL: 176k and 7,645. KY: 28,947 and 737. lol NC (TN neighbor): 116k and 1,847. The further south I went, the screweyer it got. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 29, 11:00
        
        1% is low. yours is 22%? -- nm - mud Jul 29, 10:55 5
        
        Mop? 4%. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 10:57 4
        
        BC: 3523 cases, 194 death = 5.5% I think -- nm - mud Jul 29, 11:02
        
        math is hard -- nm - mud Jul 29, 10:59 2
        
        Damn you! remote learning! -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:01
        
        I blame it on TN making it too easy. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:00
B2: While I don't appreciate the name calling, what is your question about shells, Bery? -- nm - rollo Jul 29, 10:46 12
- I have a box of frozen tart shells (there's that name-calling again, sorry) and I'm looking to make lemon tarts ... was just wondering if they - Beryllium Jul 29, 10:49 11
  - pie weights if you have them or beans. I keep a bag of dried beans (I think black-eyed peas) in my pantry and just reuse them as needed - decline Jul 29, 10:52 10
    - Cover some pennies in aluminum foil. -- nm - kelly Jul 29, 11:09 1
      - yup. I've also used some old forks I have for a full size pie crust -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:11
    - what about marbles? -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:05 3
      - aren't marbles glass? I'm not sure if they are heavy enough and would they crack at high heat? -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:08 2
        
        THey're heavier than beans. Don't know about cracking. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:17 1
        
        googled. glass can crack above 300F so you might be tempting fate on a pre-bake which is usually at 350 -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:23
    - also, if you don't weigh them down during the pre-bake then crusts have a tendency to bubble and puff-up in the middle -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:02 1
      - this is what I thought the main issue would be -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 11:04
    - Eighth ounce lead sinkers. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jul 29, 11:02 1
